The proprietor told us. In a burst!
of confidence, that he was thinking
of changing the name of the hotel
and asked us to suggest a title.
After going to three of the meals
and using the same food cadr for
each, we went Into executive session
with mein host and told him:
"Sirrah, I have heard many names
suggested for the hotel among trav
eling men leaving here. None of
these would do to put on your letter
head, for there Is a law against send
ing that kind of language through
the mall. I might suggest, howev
er, that, in view or the fact that
where they have dainty things to
eat they call it a delicatessen. You
might call this one The Duplicates
sen you always have the same
thing."
Yes, we had checked out before
we told him this.
For he was a proud man.

ing else to do.

We had the maryandum for a
nice little news Item about a promin
ent Alliance man on our desk. It
was quite warrum yesterday after
noon and when the elektrik fan was
turned on it blew the aforesaid "ma
ryandum" onto the floor where the
"devil" picked it up with the rest of j
the trash and threw it Into the trash '
burner. We are now having a "h
of a time" trying to remember Just
what was on that slip of paper. We
asked the bookkeeper and she said,
"Ish K. Dibble.' Now, who inthun-i
der is he and what has he to do with
the item?
The Barnwell (S. C.) People, of
which J. W. HolniPB is editor, recent
ly published this little Btory on its
editorial page:
The following conversation prob-j
ably explains why so few merchants
in Barnwell believe in advertising: I
"Why don't you advertise?" ask
ed the editor of the home paper.
"Don't you believe In advertising?" I
"I'm ag'in advertising," replied '
the proprietor of the Hayvllle liacket'
store.
"But why are you against it?"
asked the editor.
"It keeps a feller too durn bu8y,"i
replied the proprietor. "I advertis-,
ed in a newspaper one time about
ten years ago and I never even got
time to go fishing."
The annual convention of Sunday
schools of Box Butte county will be
held on July 29 and 30. at Hemlng

enthusiastic convention.
Three sessions will be held; an

Hotel Clerks
These are of two kinds: intelligent
clerks and regular clerks.
The most marked characteristic of
the average clerk is the length of
time and the frequency with which
he can be exposed to information and
never catch it.
He is immune.
Hotel clerks never get into idiot
asylums.
In order to get into one of those
one must have a seven-ounce brain.
They won't take the Blx site at all.
We once knew a hotel clerk who
would send Ice water at the regular
price to any guest who asked for It.
He kept getting more and more
intelligent till once be woke with a
start, shuddered, looked about, real
ising where he was and fled scream
ing from the place.
He now has a job as floorwalker
In a cemetery, and is a changed man.
The favorite parlor trick of the
regular hotel clerk Is to tell people
who telephone and ask if you are
there that you are not.
We have spent years in trying to
find out why they do this, but in
vain.
We once knew a hotel clerk in a
large city who spoke pleasantly to a
guest who asked for a room without
a bath.
But he has since died.
We know some real gentlemen
who hold hotel Jobs regularly, and
they are a never-ending puxzle to
us.
They must have something awfol
on the proprietor.
There is a fat clerk in the Statler
hotel at Buffalo who endeavors in
his weak way and manner to take
the vaunting and sinful pride out of
travel-weary guests.
When we have been roomed by
him and go to cur room we read the
"book of rulas for employes" and
sobblngly wonder If that clerk ever
read t.
